A deciduous maple, being a natural hybrid that boasts a rapid growth rate and a distinctive open pyramid shape. The leaves are large, deeply dissected, and mid-green with a silvery underside, but come autumn, they transform into vibrant shades of uniform red. Early spring brings forth clusters of tiny red flowers, followed by usually sterile, greenish-winged seeds. ‘Morgan’ is exceptionally colour dynamic, and as the tree ages, its grey bark takes on a slightly wrinkled texture, while the branchlets adopt a brick red hue.
